All those proofs you supposedly saw that pi was not 4 could have been flawed, we have to remember that there are two sides to every story. Besides, it's okay to believe that pi = 4 if it brings you joy.
And frankly, my belief that pi = 4 is irrelevant to my opinion on philosophy; no philosophy paper hinges on what the exact value of pi is. You should evaluate my philosophical work on its own merits, not on your prejudices about people who believe in pi=4.
(Can you please confirm that this is intended to be satire? That seems to be the intent but I'm unsure because some of the other replies say things more bizarre while evidently intended to be literal.)
Confirmed.
Thanks, I am now free to upvote!
Yes it's satire, and it's telling that you can't tell :-)
Poeslaw, the side dish of champions!
Specifically it says something about wedrifid's understanding (to lack thereof) of other people's positions.
It could also be trolling.
